Coin World Records

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stuck 14 coins to the forehead using nothing but skin. In one unedited take of nearly four minutes, the forehead and coins are wiped dry with tissue, then the coins go on one at a time, with any that slip pressed back into place, until they form a band of silver from temple to temple. With both hands away, all 14 stay put while a stopwatch held up to the camera runs past 10 seconds, and RecordSetter counted every coin in the closing frames.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, stuck 10 coins to the lower half of the face using nothing but skin. In one unedited take of just over two minutes, the face and coins are wiped dry with tissue, then the coins go on one at a time under the eye in two rows that curve back toward the ear, with one more down by the jaw, and any that slip get pressed back into place. With both hands down on the desk, all 10 stay put for about nine seconds, and RecordSetter counted every coin in the closing frames. Loose change, not so loose.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, packed a stack of 15 silver coins into the gap between the big toe and second toe of one bare foot, then let the toes do all the work. In one unedited phone clip filmed on a bed, both hands pull away and the toes hold every coin for about two and a half seconds, then Yanhao slides the stack out and fans it across one palm with a thin stick so the coins can be counted. RecordSetter checked the hold frame by frame, and the fanned stack is consistent with the claimed 15. That is a pocketful of change parked in one toe gap.

In Karachi, Abdul Rehman Nasim thumb-flipped a one-cent coin high above his head and caught it 9 times in 30 seconds, standing in front of a plain wall. RecordSetter counted each catch in his continuous phone video, starting the clock at his first flip. Between flips he resets the coin on his thumb, then follows it with his eyes all the way up and back down into his palm.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, kept a 1 fen coin stuck to the back of the hand for 4:10.30 using nothing but skin. In one continuous take on a bedspread, the hand and the coin are wiped dry with tissue, the coin is pressed on, and the hand turns palm up so the coin hangs underneath before a smartwatch stopwatch starts from zero. RecordSetter watched the coin hold on until it dropped onto the bed, with the stopwatch stopped at 04:10.30 right after. Four minutes held up by skin alone.
